Planning a trip abroad? Let us help you prepare.

Up to 70% of travelers report some sort of health problem during or after a trip, especially those traveling to tropical locations.

The best way to avoid health problems when traveling outside the United States is to be prepared before you go. The most effective way to be sure you're fully prepared is by consulting with one of our Travel Medicine Specialists and creating your own Travel Health Profile.

That way, before you leave, you can get the required and recommended immunizations*, and fill any prescription medications you may need while you’re away.

How It Works

1. Complete the online Travel Medicine Consultation Form.
2. Select your local Star Market pharmacy.
3. Our pharmacy staff will contact you within 2 business days to discuss your recommendations and set up your immunization appointment.

The cost of this service is $55.

Please note: Allow as much time as possible before your trip, as some immunization series need to be started a few weeks or even months before travel. Age restrictions vary by state. See pharmacy for details.
